Delegates Fearful of Wilson at Democratic Convention
In San Francisco delegates worried the party may be blocked from nominating Wilson. Five days of talks yielded no clear choice, as Washington reportedly keeps candidates like Palmer Cox and others away. Delegates fear both Wilson’s dominance and the party’s fate if re nominated, with Bryan the only critic among them. The scene hints at a chaotic path toward the convention with no instruction from Washington.
